Fuki Junmai Sake

Fuki Junmai Sake is a traditional Japanese sake that adheres to the strict Junmai classification, meaning it is brewed using only rice, water, koji, and yeast, with no added brewers' alcohol or sugars. Fuki Junmai is typically brewed using high-quality Japanese rice grains, often including Yamada Nishiki (widely considered the "king" of sake rice) or other regional varieties from the Hyogo Prefecture. The rice is polished to a ratio of 70%, which is standard for a classic Junmai, allowing more of the rice’s natural fats and proteins to remain, resulting in a more robust flavor. It is known for a medium-to-full body with a smooth, well-rounded mouthfeel. It possesses a slightly creamy or velvety texture that is characteristic of sakes with less aggressive polishing. Rich and savory (umami-forward) with a subtle sweetness, you may notice flavors of hazelnut, stone fruit, and a mineral edge that makes it exceptionally food-friendly.
